Crew members of SS13, I offer you my sincerest greetings. My name is of no matter, but if you must call me something, you may call me The QuarterWizard. I would like to inform you that I am the noble leader of the Wizards Federation.

You may be wondering, "Why, why mighty QuarterWizard, why do you send wizards to the station to destroy us all?"

Well, denizen of the station, it's quite simple really: One or more of your crew has angered our magical Federation, and now you will all pay the price.

If you're lucky enough to only have certain members of the crew anger us, like that geneticist who once claimed that us magical folk are merely "products of genetics research", then you're more than likely to survive, assuming you give our wizard the means to escape early on. If not, well... Not even I, the mighty QuarterWizard can guarantee your safety. We train our wizards to be masters of many spells, so there is no saying how exactly you will succumb to our mighty wizards.

But, for you lesser beings, I have archived a list of our most common spells, so as to assist you simpletons in identifying just how skilled and varied our wizards can be.

Dress to Kill

If you are a Wizard, then remember to keep your wizard hat and robes on. Not only are they the latest in wizarding fashion, they are also a powerful magical amplifier. If you lose those, you are in a boatload of trouble.

Preparation

You start on board a Wizard Ship. You will first be asked to choose a name. You have 10 spell points to spend. You spend them by using your spell book in hand. A menu will appear which contains lists of spells, categorized in tabs. You can also choose name, race and appearance by using the magic mirror on the wall. When you are ready to go to the station, use the "scroll of teleportation" and select a room to teleport to.

Use the Wizard's Ship you start in to familiarize yourself with the spells before you teleport onto the station. You can even re-learn the spells as often as you'd like as long as you're here. Take your time. No need to jump in right away. You can also use the advanced camera console to spy on the station before leaving.

Quick Checklist for new Wizards

1. Choose name, race and appearance with the magic mirror. 2. Spend 10 spell points with the spell book. 3. Make sure you are wearing one of the robes and one of the hats (unless you plan to stealth or use robeless spells). All robes and hats/helmets found on the Wizard's ship have the same stats. 4. (Optional): Bring anything else you think might be useful. The free staffs/brooms are just decorations or very weak melee weapons.5. (Optional): Find a good location to teleport to with the advanced camera console. 6. Use the scroll of teleportation to teleport to the station. Remember, you do not start with a flashlight. Maintenance will be pitch black.

After arriving to the station, you can do whatever you want. Cast spells by clicking the icons that appear to your upper left. They will be invisible when on cooldown.

Min-Maxing

You can take any of your spells multiple times to upgrade them, generally giving them a lower cooldown. You can also turn yourself into almost any race via your Magic Mirror, some of which are more powerful than others.

Quartermaster Costume Party

If you can, masquerade as a Quartermaster Supply Wizard. Not only will you look like the most powerful wizard of all time, but people may be liable to turn a blind eye to your presence. Combine this with some quick spellwork and you may just kill a bunch of people without getting caught.

Robed Spells

These spells require the Wizard's POWERFUL, MYSTICAL ROBES AND HAT. So wizards, for your own sakes, never take off your robes.

Rod Form

CLANG!

Take the form of a mighty immovable rod, capable of tearing walls down, destroy machinery and critically injure anyone foolish enough to stand in your path!

25 / 21.2 / 17.5 / 13.7 / 10

2

DisintegrateSmite

EI NATH!

This spell will charge your hand with a powerful energy that can blow up the next person or cyborg that you touch. Their brain will still be recoverable, but definitely hard to clone. It is seen as a cheap way to kill.

60 / 50 / 40 /30 / 20

2

Mutate

BIRUZ BENNAR!

Temporarily transforms the wizard into a stun-immune hulk, capable of destroying walls with their massive strength and of shooting lasers using their massive minds. To shoot lasers, use harm intent and click on a non-adjacent target. 20 burn per shot.

40 / 37.5 / 35 / 32.5 / 30

2

Flesh to Stone

STAUN EI!

Can turn even the angriest crew member into a comparatively calm statue. The spell will wear off eventually but is useful for neutralizing threats non-fatally or creating emergency cover. Keep in mind that when the spell wears off if the statue isn't in good shape anymore the crew member won't be either. Instead of gibbing the target and leaving a brain it turns the target into a solid statue. However after a certain amount of time the statue will revert back to the original target. By itself it's just a gimmick -- players turned into stone won't count as dead for objective purposes. However when this spell is paired with the "Staff of Animation" this becomes a spell even more devastating than Ei Nath or Fireballs.

(tl;dr: Use it with a Staff of Animation or just use Ei Nath.)

60 / 50 / 40 / 30 / 20

Tesla Blast

UN'LTD P'WAH!

Charges a lightning blast over 10 seconds. When it finishes channeling (you can move while charging) it will shoot lightning bolts at random mobs within 7 tiles, dealing damage and stunning them. If no mob is nearby on release, the spell's cooldown will reset. Is not blocked by hardsuits or insulated gloves.

30 / 25 / 20 / 15 / 10

Lightning Bolt

UN'LTD P'WAH

20 / 15.7 / 11.5 / 7.2 / 3

Lesser Summon Guns

N/A

Why reload when you have infinite guns? Summons an unending stream of bolt action rifles. They deal 20 brute and 80 stamina damage per shot. Requires both hands free to use. Learning this spell makes you unable to learn Arcane Barrage.

75 / 56.3 / 38 / 19.3 / 1

Arcane Barrage

N/A

Fire a torrent of arcane energy at your foes with this (powerful) spell. Requires both hands free to use. Deals 20 burn per shot. Learning this spell makes you unable to learn Lesser Summon Gun.

75 / 56.3 / 38 / 19.3 / 1

Defense Spells

Magic Missile

FORTI GY AMA!

The bread and butter of most wizards. This spell summons little magical orbs that chase nearby targets, stunning them on hit. While slow, the orbs track their targets, making them very hard to avoid. Every target will have its own orb, so there's no limit to the amount of targets as long as they're in range.

20 / 16.5 / 13 / 9.5 / 6

Disable Technology

NEC CANTIO!

An EMP: disables all technology within range of the spell. Be wary -- it can shock doors.

Repulse

GITTAH WEIGH!

Throws everything around the user away. Also knocks down crewmen for a short stun. Items that are thrown can fly into crew as well, which has potential to deal moderate damage. A good choice when used with Blink to make for quick getaways.

40 / 37.5 / 35 / 32.5 / 30

2

Throw Lightning

LIGHTNINGBOLT!!

Forged from eldrich energies, a packet of pure power known as a spell packet will appear in your hand that when thrown will stun the target it hits.

1

2

Stop Time

TOKI YO TOMARE!

Stops time in a 3x3 area around you. Affected mobs will be unable to move, and passing projectiles will be stopped until the timestop ends. This means it can be used to unload a laser gun into a target all at once. The caster (and the caster's Guardian Spirit if he/she has one), is, of course, unaffected by this spell.

50 / 40 / 30 / 20 / 10

2

Spacetime Distortion

N/A

Will distort the space around you, making it so walking on any of the distorted tiles could lead you to another random distorted tile. Will affect the caster too.

30

The Traps

CAVERE INSIDIAS

Summons various traps around you that will trigger upon being walked on or if an object is thrown over/across them. All untriggered traps disappear 5 minutes after the spell is cast. Includes fire, shock, ice and stun traps among others. You are, of course, immune to your own traps.

25 / 21.25 / 17.5 / 13.75 / 10

Mobility Spells

Blink

N/A

A lesser form of teleportation. The wizard has no ability to control it, and it will usually send him a good distance, but it has a very short cooldown.

2 / 1.6 / 1.2 / 0.8 / 0.5

2

Teleport

SCYAR NILA!

Instantly transports a space wizard to any location he pleases, as long as it's within range (the Z-level you're on).

Ethereal Jaunt

N/A

After casting this spell the wizard dissolves into thin air, becoming invisible to both eye and thermal sensors, as well as being able to pass through any obstacle.

30 / 25 / 20 / 15 / 10

Fireball

ONI'SOMA!

Summons a destructive fireball in the caster's hand. When thrown it will detonate when adjacent to a target, blinding and deafening him and anyone around him, as well as dealing high damage and usually knockdown. Fireballs are dangerous, though: they will damage the caster as well, if he ends up in the blast radius. Can be cast while stunned. Range is 8 tiles plus 2 per upgrade.

Curse of the barnyard

KN'A`FTAGHU,`PUCK`'BTHNK!

This spell dooms an unlucky soul to possess the speech and facial attributes of a barnyard animal. Anyone unfortunate enough to be targeted with this spell cannot remove the mask without the help of chemistry and can only communicate with obnoxious animal noises. For when you just don't give a fuck.

Spell Cards

Sigi'lu`M'Fan`'Tasia

10 / 8.7 / 7.5 / 6.2 / 5

1

Bind Soul

NECREM IMORTIUM!

A dark necromantic pact that can forever bind your soul to an item of your choosing. That item becomes your phylactory and changes color. You should hide it somewhere on the station. As long as both your body and the item remain intact and on the same plane you will revive from death after some time, even if your body is completely destroyed. The time between reincarnations grows steadily with use. Binding your soul turns you into a skeleton. The crew might call you a "lich", even though such race does not exist.

When revived you get a new set of wizard robe and hat. People can somewhat track your phylactory by following the direction of the particle effect that comes from your body when you revive. Items bound with the spell "Instant Summons" will be unbound on death, so Bind Soul does not work well with special items.

N/A

Mobility Spells

Mind Swap (aka Mind Transfer)

GIN'YU CAPAN!

Swaps the minds of the wizard and victim, best used if the wizard is being beaten in a physical battle. Mindswap targets will be unconscious for quite some time. Only works at melee range.

Instant Summons (aka Summon Item)

GAR YOK

Allows you to mark an item. After this, you can use the spell to summon that item to your hand whenever you want. Vital when you plan to use a magic staff, or you'll end up getting it stolen from you. If the item is within a container, the whole container will be teleported to you.

1

Charge

DI'RI CEL!

Recharges one item held in your hand. Useful for recharging magical artifacts that typically run dry after a few shots. They've also been used in the past by enterprising wizards to recharge other things like energy weapons, spellbooks, and even other wizards! Care should be used in over-reliance on this ability though, as magical items tend to run down if repeatedly recharged.

60 / 55 / 50 / 45 / 40

1

Shapechange(aka Wild Shapeshift)

RAC'WA NO!

Allows you to choose an animal form. You can choose between a mouse (can ventcrawl), a corgi, a chaos magicarp, an ED209 bot, or a juggernaut. Once you choose your form you won't be able to pick the others; you can swap to this form and back to human by using the spell.

20 / 16.2 / 12.5 / 8.7 / 5

Soul Tap

AT ANY COST!

Taps your soul. Trades 20 max health for a refresh of all of your spells. Does not work if you have no soul, from formerly using Bind Soul.

Artifacts

These are not spells but tools that can be used by anyone. Extremely dangerous to a wizard should one of the crew members pick them up.
Magical staves, swords and hammers generally never fit in backpacks or bags, and must be worn in the back slot. Remember you need a hand free to be able to use the scroll of teleportation to get to the station. You can not use the teleport spell to get to the station.

Attack

Staff of Change

Allows the wizard to randomly change anyone and anything into an alien, slime, lizardman, cyborg, Syndicate cyborg, monkey, or more! Holds up to 6 charges, and recharges one every 4 seconds.

2

Staff of Chaos

Shoots random magic bolts. Charges faster and can hold more shots than other staves: it holds up to 10 charges, and recharges one every 2 seconds.

2

Spellblade

A fairly robust sword with 50% block chance, that can shoot out magic bolts that deal 15 fire damage with some armor penetration that have a high chance of dismembering the limbs it's aimed at. Holds up to 4 charges, and recharges one every 4 seconds.

2

Mjolnir

The mighty hammer of Thor. Striking your foes with it will send them flying away frow you, also stunning them, and can be thrown to achieve the same effect.

2

Singularity Hammer

A hammer that creates a powerful gravitational field around its target, pulling everything towards it on hit.

2

Defense

Staff of Healing

Shoots bolts that can fully heal the living and resurrect the dead. Does not work on yourself.

1

Staff of the Locker

A staff that shoots arcane lockers. It eats anyone it hits on its way, leaving a welded locker with your victims behind.

2

Scrying Orb

Summoning this crackling orb of energy will grant you X-ray vision and the 6th Sense, allowing you to hear the ghosts chattering. You will lose this powers if it ever leaves your inventory, however. Additionally, it allows you to ghost while alive, letting you speak with any dead souls personally and allowing you to float around as one. A deceptively powerful tool for spying, essential for the elusive stealth wizard. Don't forget about your body while you're scrying, though!

2

Wand Assortment

A belt that comes of one of each useful wand; unlike staves, they do not regenerate their shots.

2

Mastercrafted armor

A magic-gem-encrusted spacesuit, it functions the same as normal wizard robes, plus being space-worthy and armored. Minor slowdown. Now you can cast spells in space and low temperature places!

2

Battlemage armor

An ensorcelled suit of armour, protected by a powerful shield. The shield can completly negate sixteen attacks before being permanently depleted.

2

Battlemage armor charge

A powerful defensive rune, it will grant eight additional charges to a suit of battlemage armour.

Works the same as the wand of door creation. There is apparently demand for this! Holds up to 10 charges, and recharges one every 2 seconds.

1

Warp whistle

A strange whistle that will transport you to a distant safe place on the station. There is a window of vulnerability at the begining of every use.

1

Assistance

Staff of Animation

A deadly weapon for a wizard who likes to steamroll their opposition. The staff of animation will shoot a bolt that brings whatever object it hits (besides complex machinery, tables or windows) to life. The animated object will then move and attack everyone in range but the person who spawned it (which is hopefully you). In combination with the Flesh to Stone spell, the Staff of Animation can be used to create player-controlled statues. These statues have a wide selection of unique powers (of the "MY EYES!" variety), are near-invincible and receive explicit instructions to not harm or kill the Wizard. However, these statues may also blind you. Holds up to 6 charges, and recharges one every 4 seconds.

2

Six Soul Stone Shards

A belt filled with 6 soulstone shards that can can be used to trap and enslave the spirits of your friends! You also gain the spell Artificer, which lets you spawn a shell every 60 seconds. Unlike other artifacts, this cannot be used by the crew.

2

Necromantic Stone

This stone will allows you to raise dead people as skeletal thralls. Using it does not deplete the stone, but you can only have up to 3 active thralls at a time.

2

Contract of Apprenticeship

A magical contract binding an apprentice wizard to your service, using it will summon them to your side. Using this contract will send a prompt to ghost who have wizard enabled as a role: should any answer yes, after 15 seconds you will find yourself with a brand new alcolyte. Should they answer no, or if there are no ghosts at the moment, you can try again later or refund the contract by clicking the spellbook with it. If you do keep yours around note that contracts can be used by non-wizards too. When you use the contract you are able to choose from four sets of two spells for the apprentice to learn.

Destruction: Fireball + Magic MissileBluespace Manipulation: Jaunt + TeleportRobeless: Knock + MindswapHealing: Forcewall + Charge/Staff of Healing
Once they have chosen a name, the spawned apprentice is given a set of blue robes, a single-use teleport scroll and an objective to keep you alive.
Remember that your survival is paramount! The round doesn't end if your apprentice dies, but do try to keep him alive.

2

Guardian deck

A deck of tarot cards, capable of binding a personal guardian to your body. There are multiple types of guardian available, but all of them will transfer some amount of damage to you. It would be wise to avoid buying these with anything capable of causing you to swap bodies with others.

Types of guardian:Assassin: Does medium damage and takes full damage, but can enter stealth, causing its next attack to do massive damage and ignore armor. However, it becomes briefly unable to recall after attacking from stealth.Chaos: Ignites enemies on touch and causes them to hallucinate all nearby people as the guardian. Automatically extinguishes the user if they catch on fire.Charger: Moves extremely fast, does medium damage on attack, and can charge at targets, damaging the first target hit and forcing them to drop any items they are holding.Dexterous: Does low damage on attack, but is capable of holding items and storing a single item within it. It will drop items held in its hands when it recalls, but it will retain the stored item.Explosive: High damage resist and medium power attack that may explosively teleport targets. Can turn any object, including objects too large to pick up, into a bomb, dealing explosive damage to the next person to touch it. The object will return to normal after the trap is triggered or after a delay.Gravitokinetic:Attacks will apply a field of heavy gravity on the target, slowing them and making them drop held items. Can alt-click ground to manually place heavy gravity fields. Recalling or moving over 10 tiles away from the fields will remove them.Lightning: Attacks apply lightning chains to targets. Has a lightning chain to the user. Lightning chains shock everything near them, doing constant damage.Protector: Causes you to teleport to it when out of range, unlike other parasites. Has two modes; Combat, where it does and takes medium damage, and Protection, where it does and takes almost no damage but moves slightly slower.Ranged: Has two modes. Ranged; which fires a constant stream of weak, armor-ignoring projectiles. Scout; Cannot attack, but can move through walls and is quite hard to see. Can lay surveillance snares, which alert it when crossed, in either mode.Standard: Devastating close combat attacks and high damage resist. Can smash through weak walls.

2

Bottle of Blood

This bottle of blood, when broken, will attract a Slaughter Demon, which can bloodcrawl and will kill indiscriminately. It does not serve you and it'll try to kill you if it gets the chance, but it can decimate an unarmed crew. Maximum of 3.

2

Bottle of Tickles

This bottle of tickles, when broken, will attract a Laughter Demon. It will try to prank the crew (and you) by tickling them to submission. The only effective difference from a slaughter demon is that when killed it will revive all of the corpses it has eaten, because it was just a prank, bro. Maximum of 3.

1

Magical Items

Wands, unlike staves, do not recharge over time. They can be recharged with the Charge spell, but even then they may lose maximum charges after every charge.

One-use spellbooks teach a spell to the first user. Everyone that reads it subsequently will instead trigger a recoil effect, usually harming the reader.

Wands

Charges

Wand of Death:

Can and will kill anything instantly. Nasty, nasty stuff.

3

Wand of Healing:

This wand uses healing magics to heal the living and revive the dead. Rarely utilized, for some reason.

10

Wand of Polymorph:

For when you just need a change. Be careful if using on yourself, as many potential forms lack arms to wield the wand!

10

Wand of Teleportation:

Will rip up and scatter anyone or anything caught in its path. Unlike teleportation spells employed by the wizard, this wand makes no qualms about depositing teleportees in space, fires, or the center of a black hole.

10

Wand of Door Creation:

For when you need an easy way out. Point at a solid wall and fire -- who needs ID cards in this day and age?

20

Wand of Fireball:

Useful for burning those you don't like and everyone else too. Point away from face.

NOTICE: THE WIZ IS HUMAN (unless he is a lizard wizard or a Skeleton, or something that's, you know, not a human.)

Usually, when you go on your long space adventure, you come across an AI.

The AI will either be nice to you and attempt to protect you from the evil crew, or it will track you the whole time, and attempt to trap you! (Luckily, you have been trained by the greatest!) If this happens, go into the AI core, and see how he can track you while it's dead.

If you're feeling nice and don't mind being stunned a few times, you can always pop into the upload! When you get inside, take a Freeform module, pop out, and make nice law explaining how you are practically god of the station, and return to the upload, and of course, upload it!

After that, the AI will be very nice to you, and serve you, his master.

A Friendly Wizard

Being a friendly wizard is not recommended, as it generally makes both crew and observers bored. Many hate friendly wizards for this and other reasons. But if you really don't feel like doing any harm you are allowed to live peacefully among the crew. The staff is usually friendly towards non-harmful wizards [CITATION VERY MUCH NEEDED] if they announce themselves to be friendly, and the AI is usually programmed to prevent harm to you if you're human. So pop over to the HoP escorted by the Captain/HoS and request a proper ID card. Just remember that you are by law and backstory an enemy of Nanotrasen. All crew are allowed to kill you, and some may try.

Suggested Starting Loadouts

Your first time playing as a Wizard can be disorientating and very hard, but also demanding. Just figuring out what spells to take is half the gamemode onto itself, the other half is utilising those spells. As such this section will detail some basic, but robust, starting Wizard loadouts.

You only get up to 10 spell points to spend, meaning your spell loadout will be limited. So don't overspecialize.

Stock

Magic Missile

Disintegrate

Ethereal Jaunt

Blink

Knock

A basic, but robust set up. Gives you good offensive and defensive capabilities that favour hit and run attacks.

Using Ethereal Jaunt to launch a ambush, then using Magic Missiles to grant you a effective area stun attack while Disintegrate lets you quickly dispatch a single target. Blink and Knock offer a effective fallback to escaping a bad situation or if you screw up.

Disintegrate is often considered unsporting, though, so expect dead chat to be mad at you if/when you die.

Offensive

Magic Missile

Disable Technology

Mutate

Disintegrate OR Fireball

Blink

Heavily oriented around attacking and killing the crew, you suffer from very little defensive spells, thus relying on being robust enough to kill anyone before they become a threat.

This loadout focuses on Magic Missiles and Mutate in order to kill, as well as either Disintegrate or Fireball to help deliver the coup de grâce. Disable Technology is effective in sapping all energy from Security Officers weapons while Blink offers a small defensive spell to get out of a bad spot.

Defensive

Magic Missile

Teleport

Ethereal Jaunt

Blink

Smoke OR offensive spell

This loadout focuses on survivability almost exclusively. You're going to have to rely on stealing station weapons in order to kill people, however you yourself will be really hard to kill as you have a large array of defensive and retreat spells to use.

Stealth

CHOOSE A REALISTIC NAME.

No Robes

Fireball

Knock

Mind Swap

2x Free Robeless Spells

A dangerous and advanced loadout, this set up relies on stealth, evasion and confusion to get the job done. However this can prove effective in avoiding getting shot and pulling of outrageous tasks.

If you're discovered you will have few defensive or offensive abilities to employ, Fireball is your only main offensive spell, taking either Blind or Smoke can help in avoiding targets and Forcefield can help keep away pursuers.

I Have No Idea What I'm Doing

Summon Magic

Summon Guns

Summon Events

Summon Ghosts

Summon Madness

Have you NEVER been a wizard before and are incredibly afraid of screwing up and causing the round to end 5 minutes in? Have no fear! With this loadout, even if you're incompetent, the station will still descend into chaos! Why cause mass murder and death yourself when you can have the crew do it for you?

I Want to Watch the World Burn from the Comfort of My Ship

Summon Ghosts

Summon Events x5

Did you know that your wizard ship has a camera console in it that you can use to observe what's going on in the station? You'll be using it a lot with this loadout, as you'll generally want to wait until Summon Events spawns guns and/or magic before beaming down onto the station yourself so that the round doesn't immediately end when you die. Fortunately, you won't have to wait long, because the level 5 version of Summon Events summons an event EVERY MINUTE! Yes, that's right, a wacky wizard event will occur EVERY MINUTE until the game runs out of wizard events to summon! And YOU can watch the resulting chaos from the comfort of your own ship!

If you'd like to take a more active role in events, consider using a Summon Events x4 (which summons an event only once every 1-2 minutes instead of once every minute) + Bind Soul + Summon Ghosts build instead. Become a lich as soon as possible after arriving on the station and try to keep your phylactery safe- if you die without a phylactery (because you either didn't make one or because the one you made was destroyed) before Summon Events makes another (still alive) antag, the round will end before the chaos from your Summon Events castings fully manifests.

These loadouts are meant as a general guide on simple loadouts to use. We highly recommend you experiment with any spell combination when you can.

Tips

While knocked down, you can still cast most of your spells, with a few exceptions: jaunt will make you invulnerable, but you won't move until the stun runs out, and touch-based spells like disintegrate will need you to attack the target.

Someone in the "Unconcious" state can be instantly Soul Sharded, regardless of health. Anyone under 50% HP can be KO'd by a briefcase with 100% reliability. See that assistant that burned himself to shit on the door? Briefcase bonk, shard.

Suicide bombing is a very easy way to kill a wizard but may get you banned if you fuck up. Welderbombings can also knock the wizard out if he's not very good.

Removing a wizard's hat or robes will often render him completely impotent, as very, VERY few wizards carry spare hats in their backpack. Acid or fire smoke grenades work well for stripping their hats. Muzzling them also makes them unable to cast most spells if you can actually hold down a wizard long enough.

The Staff of Animation can animate holographic objects. They retain their 'force' and do not disappear when they leave the holodeck/the holodeck is shut off. So you can load up the thunder dome simulation over and over for infinite E-sword buddies.

Wizard EMP shocks doors, so you should not better use doors as wizard, after you use EMP skill. Also the staff of animation is even more OP than Veil Render, just use it on knifes, hatchets and other items of big robustness. Combine this with EMPing security guys, which approach you and mutating in hulk, when you see guys with syringe guns (however, if chemist is not mainstream and deploys lexorin or unstable mutagen, you would get outrobusted) for greater effects.
